      Both are acceptable in American English.

      Really... 'either' sounds very wrong to me.

      If you're just being pedantic, since you clearly did understand it, neither "either" nor "neither" makes sense.
      And if either of them were correct, it would be "either".

      Neither nor, either or,
      this grammar argument is a bore.
      There are bigger problems we should not ignore,
      like cereal or milk, WHICH ONE GETS FIRST POUR?!

      You're right that "me (n)either" makes no sense itself. I failed to consider that.
      But if either of them were correct, it would be "neither," because a "not" is implied.

      ....no it's not.

      Anyway they're both wrong. I'm not gonna argue which one could possibly be correct when obviously neither are. My work is done here.

      I should just be glad you didn't somehow confuse yourself there into saying "obviously either are."

      For the love of god, quit hi-jacking this thread.. Granted it's in senseless banter, but make your own thread if you feel the case to argue about English.
